The benzofuran ring was formed by reacting bromo salicylaldehyde with diethyl bromomalonate in presence of dry acetone and anhydrous potassium carbonate to obtain 5-bromo-2-ethyl carboxylate (1). The obtained ester (1) was converted into corresponding hydrazide (2) by treating with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol. Compound 2 was then converted into 5-bromobenzofuran-2-carbonyl azide (3) by treating it with sodium nitrite in dioxane and acetic acid. The compound 3 is converted into 5-bromobenzofuranyl aryl ureas (4a-e) after treating primary amines and anhydrous toluene. 5-Bromobenzofuranyl aryl carbamate (5) and ethyl carbamate (6) were also synthesized by treating compound 3 with substituted phenol in toluene and ethanol respectively. All the compounds were characterized by NMR, IR and screened for antimicrobial activities.","PeriodicalId":8846,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Organic & Medicinal Chemistry","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79420454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lurasidone hydrochloride is one such agent which is used to control bipolar depre-ssion. The objective of this study was to formulate and optimize lurasi-done nanosuspension, further formulating optimized nanosuspensions as fast disintegrating tablets for improved patient compliance. In the present study, lurasidone nanosuspension was prepared by nanomilling technique. Optimized nanosuspension has mean particle diameter of 248.9 nm, polydispersity index of 0.127 and zeta potential of 18.1 mV. The lyophilized optimized nanocrystals, optimize nanosuspension as granulating fluid and as top spraying dispersion for granulation in fluid bed granulator being used to formulate fast disintegrating tablets with suitable super disintegrant. Croscarmellose sodium was found to be best superdisintegrant compared to sodium starch glycolate and crospovidone, as its acts by both mechanism swelling and wicking. Its swells 4-8 folds in less than 10 s. Many folds increase in the rate of drug release observed compare to micronized lurasidone and marketed product. There was no change in crystalline nature after nanomilling as characterized by XRD and FTIR, and it was found to be chemically stable with high drug content. The developed fast disintegrating tablets would be an alternative better formulation than its conventional formulation to address its bioavailability issue and for improved patient compliance. However, this should be further confirmed by appropriate in vivo studies.","PeriodicalId":8846,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Organic & Medicinal Chemistry","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85052746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The virus causes severe illness characterized by encephalitis or respiratory disease in human. The case-lethality rate of Nipah was reported to be 70 % in India, since year 2001. Despite the high pathogenicity of virus, no therapeutics are currently approved for use in human. But, ribavirin, favipiravir and human mono clonal antibody was found to reduce the intensity in early stage. Medicinal plants serve as a rich source of therapeutically active compounds. Nyctanthus arbortristis Linn or pavizhamalli (Harsinger) is traditionally known to have activity against Nipha virus. In this study, therapeutic activity of phytochemicals arbortristoside A and arbortristoside C present in pavizhamalli plant against Nipha virus target was investigated by computational docking simulation. Computational docking analysis was performed using Schrodinger Suite. The phytochemicals arbortristoside A and arbortristoside C show promising binding affinity with the target Nipah virus than the reference drugs. Results of the study could be advantageous to develop a new lead molecule against Nipah virus infection.","PeriodicalId":8846,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Organic & Medicinal Chemistry","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82363466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
